What oral health care professionals learn in Vegas doesn’t have to stay in Vegas—in fact, they’re highly encouraged to take the insight they gain at the Global Oral Health Summit back to their practices. The Summit, hosted by Carestream Dental, is 2016’s new comprehensive educational event that brings dental, orthodontic and OMS professionals together under one roof, Nov. 10-13, 2016, at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.

Carestream Dental announced today at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting the launch of its new intraoral scanner, the CS 3600*. This revolutionary scanner simplifies the scanning process with high-speed, continuous scanning; an Intelligent Matching System; autoclavable tips; and stunning high-definition full HD 3D images.

The era of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, (CAD/CAM) is here to stay, and dental prosthetics, implant dentistry and orthodontics are moving into this digital arena. The accuracy of digital dental restorations, digital surgical guides and modeling has been well proven. They provide practitioners with better quality restorations, precision placement of endosseous implants and the ability to move teeth (with or without brackets and wires) more efficiently and with better predictability.

The era of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD\CAM) is here to stay. CAD/CAM has been proven to provide increased accuracy, higher quality fabrications and more predictable results when it comes to restorations and models. At the very least, oral health professionals should embrace digital scanning technology, if not milling/3D printing.

The CS 8100SC provides the fastest cephalometric scanning in the world, reducing the risk of motion blur and exposure time for the patient. While Dr. Green appreciates this impressive capability, it’s not what he likes most about the CS 8100SC. When asked what his favorite feature is, the response is an enthusiastic one: “It’s the user interface. It is extremely intuitive and easy to use.”
